Not only is pork belly delicious, it’s also very affordable and versatile. A pound of pork belly usually sells for less than 3 dollars in Asian markets, and you can use them to make a variety of tasty dishes. From pork belly stir-fries to tender braised pork belly, you name it.

Let me start by introducing the ingredients. The main ingredients are sliced pork belly and cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets. You’ll also need red pepper, garlic, green onion and ginger for flavor and texture. 

When cooked, garlic, ginger and green onion will release wonderful aroma and refreshing spicy flavor into the dish,  they are the secret to making a great sautéed dish.

When the dish is complete, the cauliflower should be tender enough to pierce with a fork. To do that, I’d start with sautéing the cauliflower under high heat for a few minutes to develop some nice char on the outside first. 

Then cover the pan with a lid to simmer for about 2 minutes under medium heat for it to soften. By now, the cauliflower should be 80% cooked through.

This recipe is a great example of perfect combination of flavor and texture. It makes my mouth water every time I think about it. Give it a try, you will become a fan as well!
